one is the Spanish master Almodovar, (I have little talent and knowledge, few films, not very good at remembering names, not familiar with haha , lol.)
One is warmth, "I only feel deeply touched after watching it, and realize that true love is actually dedicating one's true feelings to one's whole heart, without asking for anything in return." (When I watched the film for the second time, Looking back at this sentence, I was really scared in a cold sweat). What exactly happened in this story, let's see it slowly.
"Talk to Her", I was cross-eyed when I first started, and all the writing on my pen was "Listen to Her", and I realized it later. This is also a theme point.
When I watched it for the first time, to tell the truth, I didn't feel much after watching it. I fell asleep after watching it for 40 minutes, and I woke up in the morning with my breakfast and sat in front of the computer to watch it. When I saw the ending, I was stunned, hey, who is the child that Asilia is carrying? Is it really stillbirth? Why did Benino die suddenly? The plot didn't directly indicate who violated Assilia in the clinic. I didn't doubt Benino too much because he seemed to be pure, persistent, and passionately in love with Assilia. Ya, take care of her carefully and tenderly, treating her as life. I'm even thinking, maybe it was Mark who did this, (because it can be seen in the film that Mark seems to have a crush on Assilia, especially there is a scene where Assilia is lying on the bed, topless, Mark just Walked over, sat down, stared straight at Assilia. And Mark's panic and strong objection when Benino said he wanted to get married later. Also, Mark's hairstyle, always an unshaved beard, Tears, with a gloomy and eerie atmosphere, always look like a bad guy) Therefore, the kind and simple Benino is taking the blame for his friends. I recalled the clues, but I couldn't find the answer to these questions, and there was no definite evidence, so I chose to re-watch to get a closer understanding of the characters.
The opening of the film is the performance of Mahler's Cafe. Two women, one after the other, are like souls, wearing white nightdresses, eyes closed, wandering back and forth in the room, struggling, a man, in front of a woman, is afraid. She bumped into something, and hurriedly pushed the chair away for her and arranged the way forward. Even so, the woman still moved in pain. Here, we can interpret that the two women have a joint relationship, because they are one after the other, and their actions are repeated. At the same time, one is close to the picture and the other is farther away. They are metaphors for Asilia and Lily. Dia, their lives have certain things in common, situations and situations, feelings, closed eyes means that they will become vegetative together, white nightdress means hospital, death, purity, as well as privacy, privacy, there are always bumps against the wall Action, which means trying to resist, to break through the predicament and pain. And that man is Benino.
Lydia, a professional bullfighter, her heroic and masculine charm in the bullring really makes people envious and admired. her first appearance,
In the TV show, the host tried to explore the story of her and her old love Enino. Lydia was very disgusted and said angrily, "I don't like it."
1. But the host was still chattering at this time, With a stubborn face, he said, "You didn't say anything." There are two meanings here. One is the theme of the film. Women have no right to speak and have not said anything. It also appears in the following text, when Lydia and While Mark was out in the car, Lydia asked for the next conversation,
Mark said, "We've been talking for an hour," and Lydia replied, "It's you, not me," before turning her head in displeasure and looking out the window.
2. The host directly ignored or paid no attention to what Lydia said, wanted to say, and felt, she just wanted to get what she wanted to know, she said: "I can imagine that this interview was very successful "I don't like cornering... I have a habit of asking straight." "Please don't evade." She was righteous, self-righteous, imagined the ending herself, and forced Lydia to do it the way she wanted.
The host represents the role of the mass media, not only representing authority, but also the orientation of the public's perspective, wantonly infringing on the privacy and secrets of others. At the same time, Lydia, as a female bullfighter, we can see from the film that her status has been questioned by the outside world, and so is the media. The host did not ask too much about her, but kept trying to get rid of her. With the addition of male information, relying on the male character, the stubborn and independent Lydia, broke away from the unreasonable and arrogant pull of the host, and left angrily. Then, in the romance with Mark, Lydia never gained the right to speak, and her resistance was still ineffective. Stubborn, independent, and resolute, Lydia is like a sharp knife, aggressive and tough against everything brought to her by the outside world. She is not afraid of fierce bullfights, trying to use her own to prove and resist, then hers Does death have a deeper meaning? Looking at the poster, Lydia is red, as beautiful and stunning as a rose with thorns. The red color is a metaphor for the ending of death, and it can't help but look sad, sad and powerless.
Benino, he is a controversial figure. It's a pity that I'm here now, and I'm going to sentence him to death, this hateful and pathetic fellow. We analyze from the whole story clues one by one.
The first is the love line of Benigno and Assilia. Divided into approach-possession-self-imagination-aggression-destruction. five stages.
Benino first peeked at Asilia from the window of the rental house, and saw that Asilia's wallet had fallen, he ran down, and after picking up the wallet, his first reaction was not to stop her directly, but to talk to her. peers,
At this time, it seems a little clumsy and cute, because this is the first time to meet someone who has been in love for a long time. Asilia was wary of the boy who suddenly appeared, and refused at the first time, but Benino didn't care, insisting on sending her home and asking her what she liked. After she entered, quickly read the information of her home. When Assilia didn't come to dance for several days, he rushed to Assilia's house on the grounds of treating a mental disorder. At this point, it can be seen that Benino doesn't just like it. He seems to be a little violent and crazy. He wants to get close to Assilia, so he rushes to her aggressively, not like an admirer, but more like " stalker". Benigno went out of Assilia's father's clinic, sneaked into her boudoir, peeped further into her secret space, stole her clips, and then went from approaching and peeping into Assilia's life to possessing, from her Small things around you start. There is a small detail here, that is, Asilia came out of the bathroom, naked, with a bath towel hugging her body. At that time, Asilia's first reaction was panic, and Benino's reaction was too normal. It can be seen here that he would not realize it. The invasion of other people's privacy by his own behavior (peeping, taking other people's things, and seeing girls' bodies. This will be mentioned later.) It can be seen that the clip is not a random item, why is he not taking a small doll , not a keychain, not a notebook, not a pen, not a steel clip, not a butterfly clip, but such a gripper. Girls should know that the gripper is used at home and is often used in the bath, which reflects that the gripper has a deeper meaning of personal privacy. Like if you have her quilt, you will sleep with her in that quilt at night. With that kind of possession, one party cannot secretly attack.
Some people may think that until now, it's just a small thing, and I'm exaggerating. But then continue to watch, when Asilia entered the clinic, Benino hurried to the clinic to apply for the job of a nurse. In the past four years, he has cleaned the body of the girl he liked, cut his hair, and a series of "care". Nino has managed to possess Assilia from possessing a small clip, and he can touch her, look at her, and do what she likes: France. America. See all the British silent movies, and he did all the things she liked except traveling. Note, except for travel. This means that he is not willing to leave Assilia for a moment, she is his life and everything to him. He was really happy and had a good time. He started talking to her, talking a lot, and kept saying Assilia, she would be happy, she could hear it, she could feel it. Contrary to this, Mark, said: He and Lydia were inaccessible. They are unconscious, they cannot hear. Then Benino said: "Talk with her, take good care of her, tell her, remember what she did, trust my experience, that's the only way." He was showing the secret of harmony between him and Asilia , The two are in stark contrast. Benino has imagined that they are communicating, like playing a family. He is very proud that he is so familiar with Assilia and has a tacit understanding of life. From Benino's point of view Saying that Assilia is his now, this is a further escalation of possession. It is a step from the grip to the individual body, we can see that Assilia, wearing a hospital suit, is actually naked except for the cloth In the film, Benino is always rubbing body lotion all over the body of Assilia.
Then there is the violation. The front end is that Assilia's father came to the ward and he asked Benino about sex Orientation, Benigno lied, and in the next scene, he confessed in the chat with the nurse: his orientation is normal. At this time, I recalled the clip when Benino went to the clinic for the first time, Benino was a virgin, a virgin, a virgin Ah. He watched "I'm Crazy for My Lover" that day, and he said that this film shocked him too much, hehehe, this film in the film implies that they have a relationship next. I mentioned earlier when I first watched it I didn't find out who violated Assilia, so when I watched it for the second time, I paid special attention to this detail. It was a bit like watching a surveillance video to find out who just stole something. Who stole Assili Ya's chastity?
1. Benino returned to his rental house. We saw the picture of him waking up in bed in the morning. The white paint buckets and his red bed were chaotically placed on the ground. What does this mean? Blood, death, sex, fiery, and big aunts. Here, I have to admit the subtlety of the director. Everything about Benino seems to use this red bed to explain fate and destiny. Sleep means more restful sleep. At that time, there was still a magazine in Benino's house, which was the design of the new house, and the big bed was conspicuous, and he later shared it with Asilia.
2 "I'm Crazy for My Lover" is inserted into the film,
This film is also known as "Shrinked Lover", I was very puzzled at the time, what does this mean? I found out later on Weibo that this is a love story between a scientist and a mathematician. The female scientist Amparo always complained about Alfred’s selfishness, so he drank Amparo in order to prove his love. The invention of Jianfei Water, as a result, due to the side effects, Alfred's virtue began to become smaller and smaller, and Amparo tried his best to prepare an antidote for her lover and kept failing. Alfred Yaode chose to leave, and they met again after a long time. Alfred Yaode wanted to be intimate with Amparo, but their bodies were too different, and finally Alfred Yaode got into her vagina. Here is a metaphor for Benino's violation of Assilia.
3. Benigno came back after watching the film, as usual, and she rambled about the story of the film, the difference is that he took off Assilia's hospital clothes, (really, I swear, I didn't expect this at first. On the other hand, because I have acquiesced in accepting Benino's role as a caregiver, and I am used to his contact with Asilia, you must know that he applied body lotion to her thighs under her father's eyelids. It's like the operation. So I'm still thinking, the next step is to apply body lotion.)
4. Benino told Mark that he was going to marry Assilia , and one of the words was: "We can communicate like all couples." To leave here, want to see Assilia, to see Mark, desperate, he chose to escape from prison, this love story seems to be over.
Benino himself. He doesn't seem to have a concept of privacy, and his boundaries between human contact are blurred.
For the first time, he saw Assilia's body wrapped in a bath towel, his face was normal, and he didn't feel embarrassed.
When he wiped Lydia's lips, Mark immediately looked restless. He approached Assilia step by step, he didn't feel anything wrong with him, he only cared about how he felt, what he wanted. Take what you want, get used to possession, move forward, ignore the feelings of others, the vegetative state of Assilia is an extreme state of expression, meaning no resistance, any perception, but for Benino, he I am very satisfied with my current life. His proud way of "speaking to her" is to keep imagining
(We started from the first scene of the film. When Benino and Assilia recounted the story, the two women were clearly in great pain, but in his retelling, the two women were frightening, like souls. , and that man is a pupil full of sadness, he understands the pain of the man who keeps pushing the chair away for women, because subconsciously, he is the man, he sympathizes with the man, he ignores other things it doesn't care about, he only accepts him The result he wants, the answer he wants. This is the same type as the arrogant host mentioned above. Later, Mark came to the nursing home to meet Benino,
Mark said it was a nursing home, Benino said it was a prison, and then he explained the prison with his self-feeling thoughts) He is used to building the world with his own cognition, using love as an excuse, and using the role of a carer as a cover , including Assilia. The final death is praised as "sacrifice for love, self-sacrifice." Isn't this kind of death really what Benino imagined? Asilia, the so-called love heroine, didn't say anything or do anything, but she starred in this tragic love drama. Isn't this a love incident made up by Benino alone? It was Benino who also destroyed Assilia. We can see from the film that even though she is asleep, she is still beautiful like a painting, but when she wakes up, she gets the reality that she is pregnant and gave birth to a stillbirth, she is powerless to resist, even the right to know No, she reappeared in the ballet room, broken, low, old-fashioned, completely different from the way she danced before,
This is the result of Benino's violations, a tragedy for both individuals. So, I am really speechless to praise Benino's love.
Can the aggression be avoided? The answer is unavoidable, because Benino's character has long ago had this result. He has taken care of his mother for 20 years and Asilia for 4 years. We can already vaguely find Benino's morbid behavior and psychology. His pursuit of Assilia can be described as ferocious and persistent. With his appearance and personality like a little sheep, and his status as a caring and professional carer, he asked everyone to be on guard and unblock him. If he hadn't died, the awakened Asilia, she would have continued to be "lovingly" approached by Benino. At present, it seems that Benino has no sign of stopping. He will rush towards Benino desperately, and death will not scare him away. What a terrible "love".
Can this behavior be made up for? The answer cannot be made up. Not to mention that the result is irreversible, and whether the injury can be cured, it is only from the point of view of Benigno himself, because he didn't want to admit that he made a mistake at all, or that he didn't realize what he made a mistake at all. He refused to admit that he had committed a violation.
1. When the nurse found out that Asilia had not had her period for a month, Benino looked ignorant and calm. It doesn't seem like he did it
. 2. When Mark was about to travel to say goodbye to Benino, Benino seemed a little restless and ate his food with big mouthfuls, which was in contrast to his usual unstable appearance. Speaking of Ah About Celia, he only said: "I think she is infected with some kind of disease, I don't know, they didn't tell me."
3. Before getting in the car, he proposed to marry Asilia. He was strongly opposed by Mark, but refused to say the direct reason for the marriage.
4. At the clinic meeting, Benino couldn't give a reason why he had to hide his missed first menstrual period. The boss asked him for the last time if he did this to Assilia, and his answer was: "of course."
5. When Mark returned from his trip, Benino told Mark: "The hospital has no right to say anything about me." "Of course I didn't do it." I must know about Assilia's situation, "Although you don't want to, please do The
whole film does not specify it directly, and even Mark asked this question in the chat with the landlord. Mark answered affirmatively: "He is innocent, I believe. I don't know." There are obviously many opportunities to confess, But Benino didn't say a word, he didn't want to admit it, in fact it could be seen that he was afraid, he was avoiding it, giving many reasons, he never admitted it, pretending that it wasn't him who did it. His fake life of contentment, the good world, was beginning to fall apart because of the accidental pregnancy, and people were separating Assilia from his world, and he was beginning to feel uneasy, though still making up some words to support his feelings, but He realized that the matter was beyond his imagination, he began to look fierce, and his words were impolite. The creamy boy, who looked gentle, neat and clean, began to chatter, panic, and bang in prison, and finally became anxious. Panic, more urgent to get out of prison. lead to death.
Mark is the best friend to Benino. He pretends to be calm in front of everyone, but in front of Mark, he reveals his true personality and emotions. After meeting, Benino relies more on Mark, and he wants to hug Mark. In fact, it can be seen that Mark has now become the new world support pillar of Benino, and the original Aricia has been difficult to support. He is reading now and wants to go on a trip with Mark, originally doing what Arisia likes to do. Such a change means that the so-called love in Bernino's mouth is dependence. Treating others as your own world seems to be the case. This is an unexpected discovery. Suddenly, I can't help but feel sorry for Benino, saying that he is hateful, it is better to say that he is ignorant. If he had met Mark earlier, would things have been different? Asilia couldn't speak, but Mark would argue with Benino, telling him what was right and what was wrong.
The space is very long, so I will briefly summarize a few points, and you can continue to analyze.
1. About women's encounters
(exploration of women's privacy from the outside world/feminist rights)
2. Various interpretations of love
(Benino-Acilia-Lydia-Macmac-Assilia)
3. Benino's Tragic Personality
4. Mark's friendship with Benino (the same kind of connivance, concealment, acquiescence)
5. Mark's character analysis
The advantages of this film are many, but what I appreciate the most is its thematic ambiguity. Many of its plots are worthy of scrutiny, and perhaps a human personality or a great secret can be spied out in casual dialogue.
